Every young person at Queenswood School has a behavioural assessment of social, emotional, cognitive and neurological needs, carried out by an assistant psychologist and supervised by a psychologist. This assessment includes recommendations and individualised programmes of work to be undertaken by the young person with their key worker and the assistant psychologist.
Certain young people for example those with known mental health difficulties can,by negotiation, undertake a full multidisciplinary assessment that includes psychiatric assessment, psychological assessment, and a psychotherapeutic assessment of therapeutic needs. This assessment includes recommendations including consideration of on-going therapeutic input. Therapeutic input can usually be provided from within the TASS team, if this is not available then TASS can be involved in the process of identifying a therapist.
